Focus on U.S. inflation
According to FactSet, the median year-over-year estimate for the consumer price index for May is 2.5%, an increase from April's 2.3% rise.
If the data matches estimates, it will be the first increase in the number compared to the previous month since January 2025, validating the Federal Reserve's wait-and-see, data-dependent stance.
That said, the tariff-led upswing in inflation has been discussed in markets for some time, and the confirmation may not come as a shock to the market. In other words, dips could be short-lived.
